Even before COVID I noticed this a lot. There's been a gradual but undeniable shift from people talking about the government's duty to protect our liberties to people insisting the government's job is to protect our safety.
I've seen how the government takes care of people and I've decided I'm perfectly happy providing my own safety, thanks.
Back in the Reddit days I remember seeing people clutching pearls at the idea that rights come from God or are otherwise natural and inalienable, because they were worried about how you can't restrict rights if they're not granted by the government.
They don't realize that isn't a bug, that's the entire point.
Yes. Worst part is they don't realize you don't even have to believe in god to acknowledge that your rights are natural born and exist in the absence of and or presence of government. I have a right to defend my life. The government is supposed to only be there to reassure that I can exercise my rights without retribution from whomever.
There's no covenant amongst the people anymore. And I'm not speaking biblically. The foundations of a strong republic is that we are all in mutual agreement of fundamental principles. At this point that's not the case.
Daily I see cattle like mentality as if government is god. Get in this line, stand here, why should you own weapons, don't say that etc. We are morally bankrupt at this point as a country.
In a more pragmatic sense, it's this effect: Every person has a combination of the capability to fight (primarily men) and an influence towards people who can fight (which is rather the case for women). The reason why Democracy - to some degree - is valid is because in general more people beat less people.
Property is a concept we naturally recognize, and that also applies to animals. They understand concepts of ownership, theft and territory. Property can be understood even encompassing health and life (you own your body).
The reason why you can't simply infringe on other people's rights is because they will defend their rights. If you want to achieve any level of peace, society has to acknowledge these rights mutually. And because people (and animals) by default defend their rights, and they have natural, reasonable, ethical reasons to do so, and because it's embedded in our natural interactions with reality, as it is also arguably necessary to operate in reality in the first place (owning the food, keeping yourself alive), these rights are acknowledged (not granted) by the constitution as inalienable.
Infringing upon them means forcing people to overgo their natural instincts just as well as common sense (like self-defence). No authority is required in order to ensure them - if anything, authority is what infringes upon them the most.
The enemies of the USA helped make that possible. They fabricated "Separation of Church and State" to take any semblance of God out of government, and used emotional "greater good" arguments to persuade people to give up their freedoms. Fortunately a lot of Americans didn't fall for it, but enough have to cause real damage.
Idk as an atheist I like the separation of church and state. Do what you want behind closed doors but keep your magic and doctrines out of my shit. We couldn't even buy boose in my state on Sundays till a couple years ago shit like that is just fucking stupid. Religious zealotry of any kind is annoying asf to the non religious.
Zealotry of any kind is annoying at best, and dangerous at worst. See: leftist zealotry. Same can be said for religious zealotry.
I was a hardcore atheist back in my 20s as well. Separation, getting rid of all forms of religion and religious symbolism on government property and currency, that sort of thing. Well now I know how wrong I was as I see the effects of the population losing religion and faith on a large scale and it frightens me more than the fear of some theocracy ever did.
Honestly, the state should be able to be as religious, capitalistic, socialistic as it pleases. We have a constitutional right to free movement specifically to let us move to states that we more align with.
Feminism and the feminine imperative is what is driving that. Women have a different sexual strategy (getting resources for their children from others) and therefore different values. See the sidebar on r/theredpill for a much more in-depth discussion .
This is what a lot of leftist dumbasses think here in California in regards to everything. They think that somehow ceding more responsibility to the government means that they’ll be more safe. Guns? Oh I can’t handle those things. Cops will protect me from some drug-addicted burglar from busting in my crib, robbing, and killing me. Healthcare? Oh it’s too complicated and I hate I have to pay for private insurance. I wish I could just get taxed more and have public healthcare. Free speech? No I hate getting my feelings hurt so the government should police thought now. 🤦🏻♂️ California is what happens when a population decides they can’t be fucked to take care of themselves. My mom work for retards who make 500k+ and they still can’t take care of themselves.
I know of other people (in other countries) that didn't want to return to work because the governments they have were paying most of their wages for no work. They want to go back into lockdown so their government is forced to "help them" again.
Not knowing that their governments are fucking broke and are now building up government debt like no tomorrow. Already talk of cutting many benefits back so they don't run out of money. Then when they do currencies will start to crash. Then the real fun will begin.
But the COVID cult won't care lock away in their homes.

People have abandoned God. They think rights come from the government, so government can take away those rights.

NSA is white hat, Snowden was/is a CIA plant/disinformation campaign against NSA.
Exactly, which is why America's founding fathers made sure that fact was made perfectly clear. https://legaldictionary.net/inalienable-rights/

The 19th amendment was a mistake.
I agree.
Are you saying woman shouldn't have the right to vote?
Yes.
Let me be clear: yes that is exactly what I'm saying.

Yeah, well 300 million people have learned how bad that can be, without having to go full on communist. We are so winning.
